Derwiche Cracks Aces

Calum Grant

Level 8 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Action was caught on the flop with 13,500 in the middle. Vicent Bosca Ramon bet 8,500 from the big blind and Imad Derwiche called from the hijack.

Ramon and Derwiche were engaging in some playful table talk, which resulted in Ramon moving all in for 28,300 on the turn. Derwiche seemed uncomfortable about the spot but ultimately called as the covering stack.

Imad Derwiche:
Vicent Bosca Ramon:

The aces were ahead but the river gave Derwiche the king-high straight, Derwiche was apologetic about the bad beat but Ramon was very gracious and congratulated his opponent as he left the table.

Kamphues Scores Knockout

Josh Noy

Level 8 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Rafael Navas Robles opened to 1,600 from early position and was called by Timo Kamphues to his left. Laszlo Molnar three-bet from the big blind to 14,000, and Robles quickly mucked.

Kamphues used a time bank before moving all in, committing more than enough chips to cover Molnar who made the call.

Laszlo Molnar:
Timo Kamphues:

Kamphues was well out in front to start the hand, and the flop left Molnar on fumes. The turn and river completed the board, and Molnar's chips headed in the direction of Kamphues.

Danny Pyke opened to 2,000 before Pedro Gois Never jammed for 10,200. Pyke made the call.

Pedro Gois Neves:
Danny Pyke:

Neves, who had just 400 chips at one stage earlier, was in decent shape to get another double up however he had one foot out of the door after Pyke paired up on the flop. The turn gave Neves a glimmer of hope. The miracle river gave Neves trips and the checkmark for another double up.

Derwiche Loses Some, Immediately Recovers

Josh Noy

Level 7 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Imad Derwiche and Sam Grafton were heads up on the flop, with Grafton leading out from the big blind. Derwiche raised and Grafton took a moment before responding with an all in.

Derwiche asked for a count, to which Grafton responded "that's a good start". After counting his own stack, Derwiche slid his cards to the dealer and Grafton collected the pot.

On the very next hand, Derwiche called Alberto Landgraf's all in and the hands were turned up.
